The state government has neither made public the total number of dengue cases this year nor the number of deaths it caused

Disregard for data, letting the large volunteer force created for Covid disappear following a sharp drop in cases, failure to spread awareness, love for denial. 

The wild spread of dengue across West Bengal has bared lapses in the government’s combat strategy and the failure of health officials to learn lessons from the Covid pandemic in controlling an infectious disease, a public health expert said on Thursday.

West Bengal recorded 723 fresh dengue cases on Thursday, according to the state health department.

“The state government seems to be taking aggressive vector-control measures over the past few days. But if we had learnt lessons from Covid, the reaction to the alarming rise in dengue cases would have been different from the start,” said the expert, who was involved in the country’s battle against Covid.

“It seems we have closed our eyes after the storm has passed. We are neither looking back to understand the experience we have gained nor taking a hard look at the mistakes we have committed,” the expert said.
